I don't add such overlays to make conf. Instead, I symlink directories for
the packages I want into my local overlay.


I did that, too. But it has become more difficult now. E.g. the 'progress' overlay uses new EAPIs and new eclasses which even pull in incompatible packages, e.g. blas.

I haven't found a way to handle that by symlinks of similar methods.
